Ultraleather
TM
Leather-Like Upholstery
Ultraleather
synthetic leather fabric material
has the luxurious look and feel of the finest
European calfskin, with the durability and
resistance to soils and stains of vinyl fabrics. It is
also tougher than real calfskin and has superior
resistance to punctures, snags, and rips.
For most soils and stains, the fabric
manufacturer recommends spot treatment with a
solution of water and Tide
®
brand laundry
detergent or equivalent. More stubborn stains
may be treated with a water-based multipurpose
cleaner/degreaser such as Simple Green
®
or
equivalent. Solvent cleaners such as nail polish
remover or other aromatic solvents are not
recommended.
Care Instructions
•
Spot clean with mild soap and water.
•
Air dry or, if desired, dry quickly using a hair
dryer on warm setting - not hot.
•
For stubborn stains, use cleaner-degreaser.
WARNING
When cleaning upholstery and fabric, do
not use lacquer thinner, nail polish
remover, laundry soaps, or bleach. Never
use carbon tetrachloride, gasoline, or
naphthalene for any cleaning purpose.
These materials may cause damage to
the material being cleaned and most are
highly flammable, posing risk of injury due
to fire.
